I had a 1976 Moto Guzzi 850 T3 that I could not wear out. Believe me, I tried.

Bobbing has become the practice of cutting away certain parts of the motorcylce to make seats and fenders smaller, Cafe style clip handlebars mounted on low on the front forks and a crouch forward style of riding that did no good for your lower back and cartilage between your vertabrae.
The common problem with this "between cafes and coffee shop" style of racing was you could not get food or drinks to go, nor could you safely eat or drink "on the fly". |

Sem, Great photographs. The second bike mystifies me. I can't identify it. Are these bikes you just came across parked around town?

Hi Ted,
thanks for your kind words.
The second is a MZ, built in the old GDR.
Just walking around by visiting Berlin. Lots of them there. I like the city very much for taking pictures. But to seldom there.
Best Sem

Thanks for the information, Sem. I once rode an MuZ 500cc single-cylinder race bike. Quite a thrill. But perhaps not the same company?
Regards,
Ted

Its an East German MZ ETZ 250, I had one from 1988 till 1998 a super little bike, very reliable and nice to ride. The Scooter is a Simson 50cc Schwalbe ,(Swallow ) also East German amd a bit of a cult thing in Germany.
